The Kelly was introduced in the 1930s and was formerly known as the Sac à dépêches bag, until 1956 when Grace Kelly was pictured shielding her belly (trying to conceal her pregnancy), with this classic handbag. From then on, the bag was referred to as 'The Kelly bag' and its popularity soared internationally. Each Hermès bag is hand made by a single craftsman to ensure consistency, which of course also safeguards its exclusivity and desirability.
